What happened with the last Laptop?

edit
 
Mac Charger

I got the laptop from this program in 2018 (2 Years ago). It worked well till Wikimania. In my Wikimania journey during security checkup, I put my laptop into the basket. Unfortunately, the basket has been slipped from the queue. then I repaired the laptop with my own expenses. although I have asked CIS to support me. but later I got some stipend from my Internship. So I dropped the idea to get support from CIS. The problem is in the internal circuit board. 2 Mac charger has been damaged by an internal circuit. Now it is not in a workable state.

How did you use the last laptop

edit

How you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you

edit

Currently supporting different Indic wiki communities in terms of technical is my target. I have created many tools and scripts under Indic-TechCom. So for the maintenance and adding a new feature is my priority. we have to have assumed good faith. In the last hardware donation request, I did not plan so much technical work. But I did a lot. Like that, I am also assuming that it will very production like last one.


Also, I conducted the Small Wiki Toolkits event with mw:Wikimedia Technical Engagement's Developer Advocacy team.

Any Hardware specification?

edit

Like the previous one What_is_needed_and_why. I need 64 bit and 8 GB+ RAM laptop. These are mw:MediaWiki-Vagrant specification. My main tool development is done on the MediaWiki Vagrant.

Wiki Editing?

edit

Apart from that, I am mostly active in Hindi Wikiversity. I have 18,000+ global Edits. I am Sysop on hi.wikiversity. But You can drop this. Because I need the laptop for Technical Contribution.
